A very nicely priced Zin from 66-year-old, dry-farmed Sierra Foothills vines that has an intense spiciness right from the get-go and is appropriately tannic and meaty, big and classic for its historical roots. Plum, blackberry and tobacco predominate and already with four years of age, this one could age more. ——V.B.(11/1/2011)—— 88
